Beautiful art. But this is really just the bare beginnings of a story -- only four issues -- and thus really difficult to judge. I think Marvel was probably like "OMG! TA-NEHISI COATES!" and rushed this out. Sigh.

Also included is T'Challa's introductory issue from 1961 and it's...not great. The Fantastic Four are kind of racist and T'Challa's sexist. Hoo boy, the '60s must have been fun!

A very interesting comic looking at the role of government in a country and the complexities of ruling. What makes someone a good leader? What do you do if the people don't want the systems you have in place? How do you respond to dissatisfaction or rebellion? Interesting but note this is not the movie universe it is one particular Balck panther Comic universe.

I had high expectations, but I felt like I was dropped in very unfamiliar territory without sufficient context to ever quite make what was happening in this make a lot of sense to me.

Solid start to a larger story, but another example of the periodical format not always working in fractional collections.

I found the narrative difficult to follow, but it may be because i am not familiar with the Black Panther "universe". Going on to Book 2 to see if i can get onboard.
